Books on Tap- Recap of November's Meeting


On November 10th we met at Dublin Square to discuss Dave Eggers' latest non-fiction book, Zeitoun.   This book not only tells the harrowing experiences of the Zeitoun family during Hurricane Katrina, but provides insight into the larger issues of government action in crisis, criminal justice, religion, race and ethnicity, and community.

If you haven’t read the book, it’s definitely a worthwhile read!  For additional information check out these links:

Book for November 10th, 6:30pm: Zeitoun, by Dave Eggers


When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a prosperous Syrian-American and father of four, chose to stay through the storm to protect his house and contracting business. In the days after, he traveled the flooded streets in a secondhand canoe, passing on supplies and helping those he could. But, on September 6, 2005, Zeitoun abruptly disappeared. Eggers's riveting nonfiction book, three years in the making, explores Zeitoun's roots in Syria, his marriage to Kathy - an American who converted to Islam - and their children, and the surreal atmosphere (in New Orleans and the United States generally) in which what happened to Abdulrahman Zeitoun became possible. Like What Is the What, Zeitoun was written in close collaboration with its subjects and involved vast research - in this case, in the U.S., Spain, and Syria.
